aston just doesn't do speed any more.. with a 1.3L and 4 cylinder increase translating to less than 100bhp.. not so great, to be blunt. and a 6.0L V12 producing 510? that's hardly monumental these days, methinks aston needs a new engine.. does look good, though

True, and 0-62 mph in 4.2 seconds? The similar sized 911 GT3 can match that with a much smaller naturally aspirated 3.8 liter flat-6 engine! Isn't the Vantage supposed to be Aston Martin's true 2-seater sportscar model which is lighter and more compact than the rest of the Aston Martins? I guess its not light enough.

I think that Aston should get some new designers, its all well and good they make a nice looking cars but they all pretty much look the same, its getting abit boring.

Beautiful engine? How about OUT-classed, OUT-gunned and OUT-matched in every dimension.

Hmmm, this car would go well with a trophy wife mentality...otherwise it is outclassed by the aforementioned 997 GT3.

Hmm, looks like a crappy tuner got his mits on a pencil and attacked the gorgeous Aston lines. Those wheels look particularly cheap and aftermarket. Much rather the DBS than this if you're playing in this league of money.
